I thought that next year it would be not possible to go on a vacation. This because next year I will get my own apartment and decorating everything will cost quite some money. So I saved my money for that and accepted that there would be no vacation next year.
Some days ago I received a mail from Mel. She heard from Marion and Rob about that there would be no vacation for me next year. So she invited Richard and me to come for a week next year to stay at her home. So I only need to pay for the flight to Lesbos and have some money to spend there.
To make it all perfect, Richard told me that he would pay the flight for us both, so I could spend my money on my new apartment (I love that guy!).
So next year we go back to Lesbos. I am so thrilled about that! 🙂
BTW I am often asked why Richard and I don’t move together. That is very simple, I want first to experience and learn how it is to live on my own. And maybe after some years moving together with Richard. Although the LAT-relation that Marion and Rob are having together sounds very tempting to me.
And Richard? He is fine with all. He sees me having my own appartment as something positive, then he has a nice place to stay at times (his apartment is a real “man alone”-apartment 🙂 )

That is great Marissa. I am very happy for you. Really!
And yes, Richard is a great guy. And Mel is awesome 🙂
How wonderful for Richard and you, Marissa. Any idea already when you are going to Lesbos?
Wonderful. Just wonderful and nothing else. Very happy for the two of you.
Looks like we infected you with the Greece-virus 🙂
You’re welcome, Marissa.
As I said before, in the time you and the others were here on Lesvos you all have become friends. We had really a marvelous time together.
It will be fun next year. In Februari Sanne will be staying here with me. April or May Richard and you will be coming to Lesvos. Then in June I will be coming to The Netherlands and see you all again. Finally in August Marion and Rob will be 3 weeks here on Lesvos. This is all so wonderful.
Oh Marissa, I will take Richard and you to the temple of Aphrodite. You will really love it there. There is a lovely quiet place to swim nearby. And with a small detour we can visit a very nice taverna to eat something and enjoy some good wine (we let Richard drive :P)
Looking forward to your visit.
I am also looking forward to it very much. Richard has booked the flight already (he would send the details to you by mail).
And yes, I think also that because of the wonderful time we all had together on Lebsos there is now certainly friendship between us all.
Of course with Sanne who you know already for years.
And also between Marion, Rob and you I noticed a growing strong friendship and that makes me feel good.
Hey, Richard and I are the youngsters and the new kids on the block! 🙂
(j/k You know what I mean!).
Yes. I know exactly what you mean Marissa. And thank you for your sweet words.
BTW I forgot to mention that view on the photo is really very familiar to me, I see it daily (of course I recognize it *smiles*).
